Preheat oven to 250-300 degrees for keeping chicken warm.
chicken:
Cut chicken breast halves horizontally, butterflying them open. Pound chicken pieces with a meat hammer to 1/4 inch thickness.
Mix together flour, salt, pepper, and grated Parmesan. Dredge chicken cutlets in the flour mixture, until well coated.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet on medium high heat. Add chicken; brown well on each side, about 3 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the pan; reserve to a platter. Cover with aluminum foil to keep warm in the oven preparing the sauce.
sauce:
Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a medium sized pan over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring often, until onion is translucent, but not browned, about 3 minutes; add garlic. Cook about 30 seconds. Add wine and lemon juice; bring to a boil over high heat. Cook until the liquid is reduced to about 2 tablespoons, about 5 minutes.
Reduce heat to the very lowest setting. Slowly whisk in butter, one piece at a time, letting the first addition melt before adding more butter. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in capers.
To serve:
Place cooked pasta on platter or in a pasta bowl. Top with chicken and spoon sauce over chicken and pasta. Garnish with more Parmesan cheese, if desired.
